Got one of those Thinkpads with a 16GB SSD in it. Now it is too small to put the OS on it otherwise it would be great. Just putting /boot on it seems silly. Only thing I can think of is some kind of backup of "important" files so that I always have at least 2 copies of them around. Or an svn depository. The best option would be some kind of hd cache. But it doesn't seem right to make it swap either.

Is there a way to make this a sort of general purpose (permanent between boots) cache? The only thing I found is flashcache but I'm not sure it is what I'm looking for._________________Expert in non-working solutions
